It is called stamped concrete. They pour the concrete and have these molds that they press onto the concrete giving it a texture. Once it dries, they put some kind of finish on it that makes it a bit more slick and less course. Not real ideal around a pool, but no one has gotten hurt yet. I've slipped a few times and about tore my sack while barely avoiding a hernia. Anyhow, after they put the finish on it, they stained it. As you can see, the section directly around the pool is a greyish color and beyond is a reddish color. Looks pretty nice, but if a section ever had to be replaced, it would be the suck. All in all, I like it.

OK - so it sounds very similar to the Kolorstone process: http://www.kolorstone.com/default.asp

We have a bid to do the entire pool area for $2,200 - which I thought sounded pretty good - is that where your price was?

This is the pattern we're going with:

I bought the house in August. What is there now is what it was when I bought it. I am just familiar with the stamped concrete and how it is done because I have family that have done it.

I have an uncle who had a pool built that looks very tropical and like it is built out of stone. In reality, his entire pool, the rocks around it, the waterfalls (yes plural) and all the landscaping was done with stamped and stained concrete. Looks absolutley SICK. His pump house has about 20 lines of water running the water from all the different pools and falls in his backyard. His pad makes mine look like a fucking cardboard box.

Van's right... Davis and Sacramento, Oklahoma.... can push "Death Valley" for the gate keepers when it comes to humidity.

Dins is right... I went from my shop in Novato where it was around 101 degrees last week and it was about 48 degrees in the City when I crossed the Golden Gate Bridge.

Hell, just a few weeks ago it was well over 100 degrees at my shop in Novato and I choose to go to the beach that day at around 9 am to escape the heat... and hit the "lighthouse" at Point Reyes where it ended up being around 45 degrees.

Here's a mini PET from that day...

Heading up "Lucas Valley Road" from Terra Linda...

Entering a "Redwood Forest" on my way to Ignacio...

The "truth" mobile in the forest....

Old church from the 1850's in Ignacio....

My favorite dinner in Ignacio... actually, it's the only "dinner" in Ignacio and plays the part of the post office as well.

Hmmm... the fog seems to be rolling in... this cold be a cold day on the coast.

It's just hot during parts of summer, same as all of the central California valley is hot during parts of summer. Then it's cold and dreary during winter, due to the Tule fog, just like most everywhere else in the central valley.

Davis isn't nearly as hot as, say, Red Bluff, or Redding, much less places in Riverside county, or any of the eastern deserts in SoCal.

Davis is just Sacramento, which means it's mostly a dry heat. It isn't the least bit humid, not by the standards of people who've really felt oppressive humidity.

Uh, Van? I grew up in Davis. I may have erred on the high side when I said "95% humidity", but that's how it feels on those 112 days.

Davis has a mediterranean climate (ask google), so it has a different weather profile than the other places you mentioned. There are places with higher temps or humidity, but not both and certainly not every Jul, Aug & Sept.

Lest you think I'm somehow going for weather bode, Davis in the summer is a sweaty legs on the car seat shithole. Great, now I'm gonna get suckerpunched by a soccer mom with a "Quagmire Accomplished" sticker on her SUV.

Cool. We're now set up for a no holds barred Davis clone vs. Suckramento clone weather knowledge death match.

[insert popcorn eating smiley here...]

So, who's smarter?

Well, let's see. Davis is a UC town. Suckramento is a CSU town.

You make the call.

I'll bet that if you dropped somebody from the houston area off in Davis on the nastiest hot day of the year, he'd talk about what lovely weather they have. I'm fairly certain that hot and humid was invented somewhere in the houston area.

Van · Post by **Van** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 7:24 pm

Exactly. Davis is not humid. Take someone from somewhere that is humid during summer, say, from Louisiana, or Georgia, or someplace like St Louis, then drop them in Davis.

They'll say, "At least it's a dry heat."

No, it's not as dry as Death Valley, or Palm Springs, but in no way is it humid, either. On those rare occasions when it's 112, and we're talking maybe one week out of the year, it's not humid. It's just fucking hot, oppressively hot, so you sweat.

Were it also humid, you'd fucking die.

Like I said, I grew up in Lake Jackson, TX, 50 miles SOUTH of Houston just off the Gulf.

LJ is the Indian dothead just below H-town.

There's no mistake why Houston is called the armpit of Texas.

Yup. When I moved to Dallas, the temps were higher than Houston area, but there was no humidity. I could go walk 36 holes on a course easily. And yes, I called it a "dry heat."

IndyFrisco wrote:^^^ Just described my hometown of Lake Jackson, TX ^^^

Hardly.

The truth lived and owned a home in Houston for 15 years. Lake Jackson and Houston are basically the same... and

Lake Jackson is no Davis.

Davis, CA. 7:25 pm... 88 degrees and 31 % humidity

The humidity rises later in the evening in California.

Lake Jackson, TX. 9:28 pm... 82 degrees and 89% humidity

I'd say it's just a tad more humid in southeastern Tejas.

I was just going for the "hot as balls" in the first comment. My subsequent comment about Houston being the armpit of TX due to the humidity in addition to the "dry heat" comment of living in Dallas kinda spelled the story. Any reason you decided to pick a small part of the conversation to atempt to pick apart? Nice FAIL. Get better troll.

Doesn't matter. Suckramento's chosen nickname is "Sac-town" and they turned mid-town, block after block of sweet 1800's victorian houses into a ghetto. This was over before it started.

Van, you just got served, bitch! <------I have no idea what that means.

Kinda forgot about Houston. Doh! That said, Davis is normally 105 this time of year*. NoCal is having the coolest summer on record. Damn global warming!!

Stupid fucking douchebag, next time you lie about where you own a home at least do some god damn research about the neighborhood so you don't claim to be rich and live in an area filled with trailer parks and beaten down homes. Dumbass.

Unreal.

Part 2

and the 18 mile trip out to the coast....

The most powerful OCEAN/COAST in the WORLD...

Cows that love SURFING

Going coastal in Northern California... with 65 mph winds and temps in the 40's during summer... can cause some interesting dilemmas...

2,000 feet to the coast... if you have the balls to hike for 1 hour down a trail that is close to vertical...

Zoom... from half way down the trail...

Fuck that shit... back up the mountain/coast...

...And to the '"lighthouse" !!!!!

It's go time... and the half mile walk at 3,000 feet to the "lighthouse".

Big ass Whale skull...

Hmmm.... this trip shouldn't be such a trip.... yeah, right.

Cake...

Yeah, welcome to hell....

Cool... only 260 steps straight vertical....

Oh, fuck....NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
